After the Latin America release by Amazon Prime Video, we are looking for  distribution and/or streaming platform that could show the film in America and other territories. 

Life in Silence is a story that could bring all kinds of public to the cinema thanks to universal values such as love, fidelity, and the welfare of others. It has the structure of a classic drama, with a plot that raises questions to the audience at the same time that the turning points entertain all the way through the end of the movie.

The movie also talks about autism in a way that could help demystify this condition in our society, with the hope that people gain some new perspective on this theme. 

This film would raise some questions that would grow inside the people after they leave the cinemas.  Such as paternity.  ¿What defines a father? ¿Do we become parents by instinct or life turns us into parents?  ¿What happened if we can´t communicate with the people that we suppose to love unconditional?  

The movie has great actors such as Juan Manuel Bernal, one of the best actors from Latin America and a winner of an Ariel (Mexican academy award). He is joined by Gabriela de la Garza and Maria Aura, both talented and very popular actresses in Latin America.

The music is one of the most important values of this movie. We decided to created an original music score just to give a unique soul for the film. The music was composed by Sealtiel Alatriste who ensamble a dozen of talented jazz musicians to create a Quintet that play all the songs that help to communicate the emotions of the story.
